Very nice, Skip. Iām impressed.New_Windsor_NY wrote: āTue May 05, 2020 6:19 pm Great lking knives everyone.
Inspired by Kevin's (woodwalker) choice of a Camillus EO to carry yesterday, I decided to give my usual EDC's a break. Instead, I will be giving these two Camillus knives some pocket time.

That is, one out of this world, stinkin' beautiful, pocket knives I've ever seen. And it's handled with the best looking gnarly stag I've seen so far, well done sirMontanaman wrote: āTue May 05, 2020 3:13 pm This whittler has been in my pocket yesterday and today, built by Joel Chamblin with Mike Norris stainless damascus blades, springs and bolsters.

Show of hands - how many PBR drinkers do we have here?
Ok - how many have no clue what PBR is?
Yes, I couldn't agree more! I love them ole easy openers, especially my small hoard of WWII iron bolster Imperialswoodwalker wrote: āWed May 06, 2020 2:56 amSkip!! I just seen your Camillus carries!!

. And that cattle knife is no slouch either! Good job Skip .The quality on the Cabela's knives is quite close to Rough Rider. A friend of mine gave me a roughly 3 1/2" one-hand-opener (presumably, back when Cabela's was doing the $5 sale on them, he picked up a bunch), and I thought it would be a POS, but it turned out to be quite good. It does need sharpening quite often, however.Steve Warden wrote: āWed May 06, 2020 4:04 pm A Cabela's branded wood handled stockman.

Fit and finish are pretty good. Pretty sharp right out of the box.cody6268 wrote: āWed May 06, 2020 8:28 pmThe quality on the Cabela's knives is quite close to Rough Rider.

Overall, I like it. It does everything I ask it to do. This was a "sprint" run, with M390 steel. I like the red. There are no liners, so it is pretty light. The action isn't as "buttery" as a Paramilitary 2 (I don't own a regular PM 3 to compare it to). Additionally, I wonder about the long term design of the clip. The way it resides and is retained in a resin-based handle makes me wonder if that could ultimately break down and create non-repairable wear...that would affect clip retention. It was hard for me to get clear pictures; but, hopefully you get the idea. The retaining screw probably covers less than 1/3 of the clip "wire". Also the clip wire seats down in to the resin about 1/2 way. Just doesn't seem like there is a whole lot holding it on. I guess Spyderco would take care of it, if I had a problem. I like it enough to keep in the EDC rotation...but I like the heft and action of the PM2 better.
The Para 3 I like, as it reminds me a lot of the UKPK (which I had), except it locks (the UKPK was a slipjoint, but the spring tension and actual spring weren't substantial) and is a bit better steel than GIN-1.
king knives everyone.
